Career readiness is key to ensuring successful entrance into the workforce and is also the foundation upon which a successful career is launched. Career readiness, aka “Soft Skills”, is the new career currency.

Central Carolina Technical College promotes the Competencies for Career-Ready Workforce developed by the National Association of Colleges and Employers and encourages all students and alumni to further develop these eight competencies.

You will develop these key skills in your classes and assignments, extra-curricular activities, community service, work experiences and/or internships. Check out the training videos in Big Interview to learn how to best promote these skills on your résumé and during an interview.
